Cauliflower and Hot Pepper

I made this yesterday with a lot of leftovers that were in my refrigerator. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out; then the next thing I knew I had eaten all of it. It is spicy, and all of the ingredients are slightly browned; a new hit in my house.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 LBs. cauliflower, washed and cut into florets
1 small hot pepper (red), chopped and most seeds removed
3-4 small carrots, thinly sliced
1 cup onions, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper (plus more to taste, if desired)
3 Tbs. butter

This version was made with broccoli too.

~ In a large skillet, melt 2 Tbs, of butter. Once the butter is melted, add onions and cook on medium heat until they are soft, about 6-8 minutes. Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet, and let the onions and cauliflower brown slightly before adding the carrots. As the carrots, cauliflower and onions are browning, add the remaining 1 Tbs. of butter. Stir mixture every few minutes to prevent from burning. Add salt and pepper. Once the cauliflower is fully cooked, turn the heat down and add the hot pepper. When the hot pepper is tender, turn off heat completely, and remove skillet from heat. Serve warm, or at room temperature. (I like mine with a splash of soy sauce.)
